‘Say No to political bribery': Kalonzo says in meeting with Oburu, Gachagua in Machakos

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Oburu Oginga, his Wiper counterpart Kalonzo Musyoka, and DCP’s Rigathi Gachagua on Friday met at the residence of Machakos Senator Agnes Kavindu during a visit to condole with her over the loss of her son Moses Muthama Nduya.

The leaders called for unity, urging Kenyans not to allow political differences to divide the country.

Kalonzo maintained that no intimidation or political manoeuvring can erase the memory of those who lost their lives during the anti-government protests, saying their sacrifice must not be in vain.

“As we mourn our son, let us remain united. Let Kenyans not be intimidated, and let us say no to political bribery,” said Kalonzo.

A visit to condole with the bereaved quickly becoming somewhat political, coming at a time of shifting alliances ahead of the next electoral cycle.

Kalonzo urged Kenyans not to allow political differences to divide the country, emphasizing the need to continue fighting for democracy, justice, and good governance.

“We should never forget where we are coming from because of temporary pleasures. The greater calling is for a democratic country,” he stated.

He also defended the youth who participated in the Gen Z anti-government protests, saying the country must not forget those who lost their lives or were injured while demanding accountability.

“We should not forget those young men who died. Injustices cannot be wished away. We will not be intimidated,” said the Wiper boss.

The visit came at a time when both the government and the opposition are experiencing changes in loyalties with changes expected across the political divide.
